Sufganiyot Donuts Recipe

These sufganiyot are an easier way to make the traditional jelly-filled version from Israel. Raisins or apples can be added to the batter instead of filling each ball with fruit jelly. Sufganiyot are traditionally enjoyed during the weeks leading up to Hanukkah, and also for the 8-day holiday.

Step 3: In a high-sided fryer, heat 2-3″ of oil. Drop batter by teaspoon-full into hot oil. As the sufganiyot rise, turn them over. Fry for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
